The heater can be operated using the Broan Model 86W Line-Voltage Thermostat from a wall location. Purchase the control separately. Plan to supply the heater with proper line voltage and appropriate power cable.

NOTE: Power can be tapped from a nearby circuit depending on the heater wattage required and the amperage rating of the circuit. Heater can be converted to half-wattage to avoid overloading such circuits.

The table below lists the ratings for each model.

BOLD ratings are factory wired. See “OPTIONAL WIRING CONVERSION’ section for wattage and voltage conversion instructions.

Follow these basic steps when installing this heater.

• Nail housing to studs.
• Connect power cable.
• Fasten heater assembly and grille to housing. (FIG. 1)
